Seasonal Beekeeping Tip: Time to Add Honey Supers
If your colonies are building up quickly, now is the time to stay ahead of the nectar flow.
Strong hives can fill space faster than you think—and running out of room can lead to congestion and even swarming.
What to watch for:
- Brood boxes filling up with nectar
- Bees crowding the upper frames
- Early nectar coming in from blooming trees and flowers
What to do:
- Add honey supers before the main flow hits
- Stay a step ahead rather than reacting late
- Continue regular inspections during warm weather
Giving your bees space now helps them focus on storing honey—not searching for a new home.
Explore our Honey Super Kit so you’re ready before the bees are!

Ana’s Journey to Beekeeping
From Bolivia to Bees continues this week with a reflective and inspiring chapter:
How About That Honey?
There’s nothing quite like tasting your first harvest—it’s a moment that completely changes how you see honey.
In this week’s article, Ana shares her firsthand experience as a new beekeeper discovering just how much work goes into every single jar. From bees producing wax and building comb to carefully reducing moisture and preserving honey with enzymes, it’s a process that’s as fascinating as it is humbling.
She also walks through her first “old-school” crush-and-strain harvest—proving you don’t need fancy equipment to enjoy the fruits (or flowers!) of your bees’ labor.
It’s a fun, relatable reminder of why local raw honey is truly worth every drop.

As the season picks up, it’s amazing to watch everything come together—the growth, the nectar flow, and the first signs of a potential harvest.
Moments like these are what make beekeeping so rewarding.
Whether this is your first season or your thirty-first, we hope this week’s newsletter helps you feel a little more prepared—and a lot more excited—for what’s ahead.
Wishing you strong colonies and a sweet season ahead!
Warm regards,
The PerfectBee Team
